It was pay day today. Kim had already repeatedly told me early this morning that I should treat her to a meal after getting payed.In order to not let her wait, I got off work a bit earlier than usual which rarely happened.As soon as I walked out of the office building, a man in a suit came over and said politely, "Hello, Miss Defiant. I am Mr. Mitaka's driver. He asked me to pick you up."It was closing time and people around me looked at me with strange eyes.For a moment, I was in a trance, "Mr. Mitaka? Dave Mitaka? Why would he send someone to pick me up?"The driver explained, "The Chairman wants to see you, that is, Mr. Dave's grandfather."Thinking of the phone call from a month ago, I felt repulsion in my heart and also feared that Dave would insult me in front of his grandfather. However, I had no choice but to go.Helplessly, I followed the driver into the car.The driver took me to the DIOR Department Store first and gave me a Black Amex bank card, asking me to go in and b
The manager asked the lady what was going on.The lady said there was so many customers in the shop just now, when she turned back, she found that the bracelet was gone. She was so scared that she cried as she searched the shop and couldn't find it.Although the lady didn't say that it was me who took it, the fact that the bracelet was found in my bag had explained everything. I still explained to her, "I didn't take this. I don't know how it ended up in my bag."The manager glanced at me and said disdainfully, "Explain it to the police!"It was not until now that I really panicked!'I'm going to see Dave's grandfather with him today. If I get involved with the police because of this matter and get delayed, it is unknown how Dave's grandfather will think of me!' I thought, really scared.The manager asked the security guard to take me to the office on the first floor of the mall and then waited for the police to arrive.I struggled and didn't want to go with them.Lita stood aside an
The next morning, I took the morning off and went to the police station where I was charged with stealing.The answer they gave me was that it was a misunderstanding and that the case was closed so the monitor was not checked.I refused to deal with it this way. My reputation was at stake.With my repeated request as well as the involvement of Dave yesterday, the police dared not neglect me. An officer then headed to the mall with me.We found the manager and requested for the surveillance video from yesterday. The manager immediately agreed only for us to find out that the monitor was broken!The manager then said in an exaggerating tone, "Oh, why is the monitor broken? Get someone to repair it immediately."At that moment, I understood that Lita might have known I would come back to check the surveillance video.Of course, the monitor couldn't be repaired. The so called repairer failed to get it back on after a long 'fix'.I didn't want to give up. After the police left, I went to
This time, I took this matter seriously. I began reading my period calendar and found that it had been more than a month since my last period. Moreover, I didn't take any measures when he made love to me on the wedding night.All of a sudden, a bad feeling arose in my heart.I asked Kim to go to the hospital with me and registered for the Department of Gynecology.When the result came out, my worse fear came to pass. I was pregnant for over 5 weeks."How could this be..." I looked at the result in front of me, feeling extremely complicated.Kim was different. She patted me on the shoulder and laughed, "Good job. Reed, it's said that a man's mood will be different if there is a child."'Never will I love you in my life.'As I stared at the result on the test sheet, Dave's words were reverberating in my ears, making me extremely complicated and sour.I didn't know what to do."Lita Defiant, what a small world."While I was lost in thoughts, Kim who was beside me called out the name of
I didn't know how long I had been sleeping. It wasn't until someone patted me on the shoulder that I woke up and said subconsciously, "I'm sorry, I'm getting to work now.""Puff." As soon as I finished speaking, I heard a man's chuckle next to my ear. When I turned around, I found that someone was standing behind me and he looked a little familiar...Staring blankly at him for a few seconds, I called out, "Haick?" I rubbed my sleepy eyes as I recognized him.He was Haick Grimm, a senior of mine at the same academy when I was in college. He was a well known genius among us. The lecturers spoke about his deeds every day. He was also the person I admired the most when I was in college.It was also him who had introduced me to do the internship here.I got up and asked happily, "What are you doing here?""I want to ask you the same question. Why are you here?" Haick raised his hand and helped me sort out the messy hair on my cheek, smiling gently and beautifully.I was a little embarrasse
Today, I had an appointment with my client at 5 o'clock. At about 4:30 pm, I packed my documents and headed for the entrance.As soon as I came out of the company's door, I saw Haick waving at me in a white sports car. I ran over and he said first, "You are going to see your client, right? Let's go. It happens that I am going the same way. I'll see you off."I knew that he was lying to me but I still got into his car.After getting in the car, I complained to him. "You are the general manager. Why didn't you tell me earlier?""What's the point of telling you?" Haick drove off while adding with a smile at the corner of his mouth, "No matter who I am, you are always my junior sister."His words sounded warm without any sense of distance.Soon, we arrived at the residential quarter where I had agreed to meet my client. I thanked him and got off the car. After watching the car leave, I entered the residential quarter in front of me.The project in my hand was related to the decoration o
After Dave left, I rested on the ground for a long time. Then I sent a message to apologize to Haick before heading upstairs.After I went upstairs, Kim was busy packing up her luggage. She said she was leaving to be trained abroad and would be away for a while.She patted my little belly and teased, "When I come back, you will have become a big bellied woman."I smiled bitterly.I secretly decided that I would leave the City when my belly became somewhat bigger................After Kim left, I hadn't seen Haick for a whole week. I was not sure whether he was angry or not.That week, due to working overtime and serious morning sickness, I was so weak that I had to go to the hospital to have a nutritious injection.After I finished a series of examinations, I went back to the doctors office.As soon as I entered the office, I heard a pregnant woman asking the doctor, "Doctor, how is my child?""My suggestion is that you should take a good rest." The doctor replied.I stood behind and
My reaction probably was beyond his imagination. Dave looked at me inquiringly for a long time and said, "Let's wait until the baby is born."We were both silent all the way.Dave wanted to send me back to his villa but I told the driver to send me back to Kim's address instead.Seeing that the car was about to arrive at Kim's house, I touched my flat belly and couldn't help asking, "Dave, what if I'm pregnant as well?""Abort it!" Dave answered without hesitation. In the end, he added in a cold tone, "You took the medicine last time. Never should you intend to have an illegitimate child to entertain my grandpa."I curled up the corner of my lips and said with a sad smile, "The contraceptive pills won't always be 100% successful."My statement seemed to make Dave nervous. He looked at my belly and asked, "Are you pregnant?""Take a guess." I looked at him with a calm face as I didn't reveal the answer to him.Dave looked at me and did not answer but there wasn't any joy on his face.
Looking at Bryan, I felt a heart wrenching pain. However, I didn't know how to comfort him.At this time, Jason on the side raised his hand to rub Bryan's hair and said, "Of course, your dad won't do that. Every father in the world loves his children the most. Of course, your dad surely won't abandon you.""Is it true?""It's true!" Jason nodded with certainty.He pushed the shopping cart away.Looking at the bottle of energy drink that Dave had put down, somehow, I picked it up and put it in the shopping cart.After we went back home that night, I cooked. And Jason accompanied Bryan to build Lego.Everything was as usual.Ding. Dong.Someone rang the doorbell.Jason went to open the door. I stood aside and felt a little puzzled. After all, no one would visit me.After Jason opened the door, I saw a look of surprise on his face.The next second, I saw Dave pushing him away and stepping into the room. Looking around, he saw me, went straight over, and grabbed my arm, saying, "Let's
The next day, Jason arrived with a leather suitcase.Bryan was so happy. It was also a Friday.Originally, Jason was about to leave at night. However, Bryan insisted on not letting him go. Whatever I said, he wouldn't listen to me.In the end, we couldn't persuade Bryan, so I had to let Jason stay overnight...That day seemed to be a turning point.Since that day, Jason had been living in my home. Occasionally, he would go back to school but most of the time, he lived here.I trusted him. Usually, I would leave a few hundred dollars at home and ask him to go out to the supermarket to buy things for me.What's more, after Jason stayed here on weekends, I could go to the driving school to learn to drive over the weekends, which benefited me and significantly shorten the duration of getting a driving license.Because I could go to the driving school on the weekends, I passed the vehicle driving license exam of subject three soon. After that, I made a reservation for subject four.To cel
I knew that Jason surely knew where he should have put the Lego piece. It was just that he used this method to make Bryan think on his own.The two of them were having a good time at this time. When I entered the room, neither Jason nor Bryan noticed me.Within a day, the two of them got along with each other so well. Only then did I feel that Jason was quite reliable.I changed my shoes and walked inside.Jason quickly stood up and said, "Sister Alina, let me prepare dinner for you.""No, let me do it." I looked at my watch and found that it was past six p.m. Then I said, "Go back to school now.""Okay." Jason nodded his head.Cleaning up the Lego pieces on the ground, Jason promised Bryan that he would piece the Lego with him tomorrow and left.After I finished cooking and asked Bryan to have dinner, Bryan stared at me and said, "Mom, can you pay brother Jason more so that he can accompany me longer?"I was stunned. And I immediately wondered whether Jason had asked Bryan to say s
A week later, Jason came to my house for the first time on a Monday.I got up at 7 a.m, changed my clothes, and went downstairs, planning to cook. Ding!Ding! My cell phone rang.It was a text from Jason, which read, "Sister Alina, I'm at the door of your house. If you are up, please open the door for me."I opened the door quickly.I saw Jason standing at the door in a light blue T shirt. Rolling up the sleeves to his shoulders, he revealed his skinny and yet muscular arms. With a pair of sports shorts on his lower body, a pair of sneakers, and white socks on.The morning sunlight shone on his face and shone into his eyes, making him outgoing and bright."Why did you come so early?" I was a little surprised.Jason said seriously, "Sister Scarlett told me that you are quite busy, asking me to come here to make breakfast early. After I arrived here, fearing that you hadn't woken up, I waited at the door for a while. After hearing that there was movement inside, I sent the text."For
Not long after that day, a female superstar was revealed to have slept with different men, overshadowing all news related to me.In the end, my life went to as peaceful as it used to be.The studio gradually returned to normal. And the renovation of the former studio had almost been done. So we moved back.I transformed one of Judith's guest rooms into Bryan's room and got him back to my side.If Bryan went to the same kindergarten as he did before, it would be troublesome. So I intended to transfer him to another kindergarten.It just so happened that Marie found a kindergarten offering a semi boarding service for Aurelia. She could live there from Monday to Thursday. And Marie would pick her up and take her home on weekends.According to Marie, she had studied this kindergarten for a long time and found it quite reliable. So I sent Bryan there as well.Since Bryan wasn't home at ordinary times, I had a lot of free time.Apart from learning to drive, I focused on my work.Once I beca
I followed him into the elevator specifically for the president. Dee stood in front of me. Through the mirror in the elevator door, I could see that he looked dignified.Walking out of the elevator, I saw that the whole top floor was the same as before.Dee took me to the door of Dave's office. Knocking twice on the door, he said, "Mr. Mitaka, she's here."Then he pushed the door open slightly and motioned me to go in.It seems that Dave had known I will come.I looked at the door and felt extremely nervous. Taking a deep breath, I pushed the door open and walked in.In the office, Dave sat in front of a large L shaped desk with a document in one hand and a folder in the other, correcting the document.I walked in. He paused what he was doing for a moment. Without raising his head, he asked, "What do you want to say?"If Dave's attitude to me was as normal as usual, I might indeed think that I had seen something wrong. However, judging from the current scene, I knew that I hadn't se
Lying there, I rested for quite a while before sitting up.Looking at the dim living room around me, I saw a faint light shining through the window of the living room. Searching the living room carefully, I was sure Dave hadn't come back.Yeah, he didn't come back. Otherwise, seeing that I fell down, he surely would come to me.I thought of the kiss at noon.I, who had been pretending to be strong, could no longer disguise myself.I stood where I was and kept telling myself, "Aren't you going to be independent of him? Aren't you going to stop thinking about him?"After all, everything would only get worse and worse if we were together. It would be better if we weren't together.In that case, the ones I loved wouldn't get hurt.How nice it would be!I kept telling myself this.Yeah. Since I decided to break up with him, I would have to make things clear to him face to face, right?I was deceiving myself in my mind.Rubbing my waist, I took out my cell mobile phone from my pocket. Look
Marie sighed, "Alina Jetson, oh, Alina Jetson. Sometimes I really don't know whether you are smart or stupid. Dave is so good to you. Why did you hide this from him?""I..." I turned around, "I don't want to make trouble for him. I think I can solve this independently. If I tell him, he will definitely help me. I am independent. And I can't always be protected by him, can I?""Are you making blind and disorderly conjectures?" Marie looked at me with a frown."Am I thinking randomly?"I didn't know what to say at the moment.Marie took my hand and said, "He may be having a meeting. Don't think too much. As Scarlett said, he's a president. How can he hang around you all day? Maybe he hasn't seen the press conference up till now."I knew that what Marie had said wouldn't happen.When I left, I remembered Dave's expression very clearly.He surely knew that I was going to do something that I kept from him.Scarlett shouted from the side, "Let's go have the meal quickly. I'm so hungry."Wit
At this time, Harry looked at Matt on the side, "Vice Dean Parma, it's your turn."Matt stood there with a look of embarrassment on his face.Matt was dressed in a gray blue jacket, a pair of sweatpants, and a pair of sneakers, looking casual.It was as if someone had forcibly dragged him over here while he was doing his morning running.Hearing how Harry called Matt, all the reporters under the stage suddenly understood who Matt was. All of a sudden, they all aimed the cameras at him!Matt lowered his head, clenched his hands into fists. The conference room was not hot at all. But I could clearly see a layer of sweat on Matt's forehead."Vice Dean Parma?" Harry raised his voice, called out once again, and handed Matt the microphone he had used just now.This time, Matt finally moved. He raised his hand to take the microphone over and looked at the audience with a dull look. Then he opened his mouth as if he had made up his mind, "I'm Matt Parma. I testify that what Alina said just n
